Chapter 809: Chapter 485: War God Puppet Body Bargas (Part 2)

Not only Louise, but the referee was also baffled by Shen Sui.

Seriously, dude, can’t you have a bit of a sense of crisis? What kind of situation are we in, and you’re still worried about the finals?

However, considering that his actions might temporarily save two lives, the referee nodded in agreement with restarting the finals.

"No problem, right? Contestant Louise?" The referee looked towards Louise nearby.

Louise took a couple of deep breaths, doing her best to calm her emotions, and nodded to the referee.

Thus, under Shen Sui’s persuasion, the finals of the Pacific Ocean Cruise Championship finally commenced. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

At this point, the outcome of this match was already unimportant for most of the contestants, since they were already in the sea. But for Shen Sui, the result was extremely important.

He was eager to go to the A-Class competition and see the top tier Life Card Masters of this world.

Countless interesting duels were beckoning to him.

To be honest, when opening the Duel Realm, Louise was trembling with fear, but luckily everyone’s attention was drawn to Vivian’s duel, and no one noticed that another duel had started here.

"Let’s deliberately drag the time and extend the duration of the Duel Realm," Louise looked at Shen Sui and immediately offered her idea.

Shen Sui slowly shook his head, "Nope, this is the finals, and we have to maintain respect for the duel. We can’t just act like performers."

Louise was dumbfounded by Shen Sui’s attitude, "No way! Weren’t you doing this duel to survive? If we cooperate, we can extend the duel time, the longer the better, right?"

"Who said... my purpose is survival?" Shen Sui showed a knowing smile, "My goal from the start has always been the duel in the finals."

Louise looked at Shen Sui in disbelief.

Seeing Louise’s pitiful expression, Shen Sui softened a bit and said, "Of course, it’s not impossible if you want to extend the duration of the duel."

Saying this, Shen Sui raised the card deck in his hand and said, "As long as you can withstand my offensive, isn’t that right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the turn card signifying the right to attack landed on Shen Sui’s field.

Louise glared at Shen Sui through gritted teeth; this guy dared to trick her: "You bastard, what I’m really worried about is you! Don’t lose too quickly, or I’ll lose my life in vain!"

Seeing Louise was fired up, Shen Sui was very pleased.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be a very interesting duel.

As the verbal battle ensued, Shen Sui had already begun to methodically execute his initial turn.

This time in the duel, Shen Sui originally intended to use the Dragon Race card deck, as Louise’s multi-system mythological fusion deck mainly relied on high Spirit Value, and the Dragon Race deck was undoubtedly the nemesis of Louise’s deck.

But now Shen Sui had changed his mind and planned to use the [Puppet] deck for this finals.

It’s not because he had more confidence in the [Puppet] deck. In fact, the [Puppet] deck was slightly disadvantaged against Louise’s mythological deck previously, mainly because the [Puppet] deck didn’t have easy-to-summon powerful followers and relied entirely on Soul Cards for output. Although it’s called the [Puppet] deck, the puppets primarily served as transitions and searches.

However, in this world, card deck updates don’t require waiting for a certain unethical company to decide to sell cards. As long as a Life Card Master is diligent and lucky enough, they can obtain exclusive enhancements for their deck in the Soul Card World.

With Alice’s involvement in the War God Church and Pseudo-Dusk Council events, Shen Sui gained several Life Cards related to puppets, including the invaluable Puppet Follower Card.

[Liquid Bomb Puppet Barbara] was one of the very good and powerful follower cards.

But what truly made Shen Sui decide to use the [Puppet] deck for this finals was the [War God Puppet Body Balgas].

When Alice accepted the Twilight Power and gained the [New Twilight Saintess] form, the restriction on [War God Puppet Body Balgas] in the Dueling Device was also lifted, meaning Shen Sui could extract and use this fifteen-star follower card during the duel.

The War God Puppet Body was created by Shen Sui after he killed War God Balgas, using His divinity to make a puppet.

At that time, he hadn’t expected Bargas to be so fragile, dying after only three punches from him. That was when he was worried Alice would overly rely on him, so he quickly decided to use the War God’s divinity to craft a War God Puppet Body and acted out the scene with it.

Afterward, Shen Sui divided the divinity within the War God Puppet Body, giving part to the Goddess of Death Arianna to disguise as the War God, and using another part in the ritual to summon Qishala.

Nevertheless, the War God Puppet Body card was retained. Also, due to the preservation of the Life Card, the divinity acknowledged Balgas was still alive. When the War God’s divinity attempted to reassemble, it would congregate on that follower card.

Shen Sui looked at the [War God Puppet Body Balgas] in his starting hand, sighing that new cards indeed had the luck factor, while also pondering another issue:

His intention was to make the [Puppet] deck a perfect waifu card deck, yet this follower card, crafted to deceive Alice, had male traits in every aspect, right?

But this card was truly powerful, and it just happened to have the [Puppet] category. It would be a real shame not to include it in the [Puppet] deck.

The conflict between strength enthusiasts and waifu card enthusiasts whirred rapidly in Shen Sui’s mind.

If it were just an ordinary follower card, Shen Sui would unquestionably discard it, since there were plenty of powerful cards, but not many beautiful and effective waifu cards. Assembling a full deck of beautiful and strong waifu cards was one of the few pursuits Shen Sui had.

Yet this card was particularly powerful, making Shen Sui hesitate:

******

Card Name: [War God Puppet Body Balgas]

Type: Follower Card

Star Level: 15 stars

Effect: This follower cannot be specially summoned, and its normal summon requires the release of five followers on your side of the field.

1. This follower is unaffected by other card effects. As long as this follower is on the field, all other card effects on the field are negated, and neither player can activate the effects of other cards on the field;

2. The battle damage dealt by this follower is doubled. During your battle phase, this follower can declare X number of attacks; during the opponent’s battle phase, the opponent’s available followers must battle and must choose this follower as the attack target. (X is the number of opponent’s followers on the field at the start of your battle phase)

Spirit Value: 6000

******

In every sense, this card and [Star Abyss White Dragon Qishala] are similarly positioned, both being extremely powerful ultimate slayer cards.

However, Qishala’s potential exceeds [War God Puppet Body Balgas], as its effect of not counting follow-up attacks that don’t destroy followers allows [Star Abyss White Dragon Qishala] to always stand at the pinnacle of slayer-type followers, with a direct hit from Qishala meaning the end of your life, no matter how much Life Value you have left.

By contrast, Balgas’s attack count is fixed at the start of the battle phase, but it’s more beneficial in that it guarantees at least clearing the opponent’s field of followers.

In details, there are differences between the two, each with their advantages and disadvantages.

But overall, this War God Puppet Body is absolutely a powerful follower, and it also has superior first-strike suppression to Qishala.

For the [Puppet] deck, the requirement of five materials for release is hardly an issue.

While conversing, Shen Sui activated [Puppet Creation], discarded a card from his hand, and searched [Sacrificial Puppet Ada] from his deck.
